There is still an unread content link on the main page and the location for favourite links is http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/discover/unread/

Issues noted and reported. Once the bugs are killed off, the content activity sections should work quite well and be more convenient for us all. 

I can understand the frustration. The developers are aware and are working to resolve the problems as we report them. We've installed their latest updates this morning. Rather than giving up though, I would suggest you try and persevere. Image posting is something that has worked ok for me so far so it may also be fine for you. If it doesn't work. Post it in here so we can report the problem.

Can we try looking back on topics now. I've tried a couple of things to hopefully resolve it and seems to work on 5 topics I have tested this morning.

Just a reminder that we have the Autumn Farm Toy and Model Auction LIVE ONLINE tomorrow. Saturday 26th September.

Catalogue available and online bidding facilities all on www.the-saleroom.com as usual.

Plenty of Farm related lots including nice selection of DBP's. Some very nice hand built combines from Tractoys and many others!

I'll look into this. We have such a large database but it should still load instantly if everything else is ok.

Can you send me a link to your topic and I will look into it.

We should notice an increase in loading speed in the coming days. I am archiving all topics older than 1000 days, e.g. not posted in for 1000 days. These will still be visible and work as normal but will be moved to a different part of the database. Modern content should then load quicker....hopefully!

Should be sorted in the next day or so.

Testing Quotes

To get the quote to work it's a case of open a reply window, click the little light switch (BB code) then go and click the quote button of the post I want to quote and then the text appears in the reply box, then click the BB code switch again to be able to use smileys.....  now I think of it we had to go into BB code mode to get JMD's pics from PB to the forum.

 

Just tried a photo upload test and the can only get the link from PB to paste into the reply box in the BB code mode.

Sorry for the outage over the weekend! Typical it happens when I am miles away from a computer! Things seem to be working now!

Thanks Rick and thanks to everyone else who commented

Well I've kept it VERY quiet but I'm now very pleased to say I am a proud dad to my new beautiful daughter, Charley Lilian Ebbage. She was born last Friday (the 13th!) weighing a tiny 5lb 9oz. Both her and her mum are now fine and safely at home with me!

Another new feature for the forum is the 'Best Answer Feature'

It is designed for help forums such as this one where for example, a member may be looking for advice on how to paint a part on a model, or how to remove something etc.. Generally anything to do with modelling DIY!

Once the topic poster is satisfied his or her topic has been solved. They can select the post which they feel has finally convinced them the solution has been achieved to their initial query. It then enables a quick and easy reference for future members who may have the same problem.

We'll give it a go anyway!

Great pictures Tris. So that's what you were doing when you went to 'check yourself to make sure you were ok' or was that Sean? Some great Saturday evening images too. I'm pretty sure I don't actually like nuts so a good sign it was a thirsty night!

And another one of Johnny's superb Massey Builds.

Brilliant photos David. I have a couple more of our italian neighbour's JD works of art.

It was certainly a tiring end to the day yesterday but once again, an incredible show put on by the LCN. Next year already being looked forward too! Equally, a fantastic weekend with great company at the FTF Palace.

Far too much to see if you have a stand but I think between us, plenty of snaps of the show, to be shared. I've got a fair heap to sort through but wil share one of my favourite pictures, as a taster, which I took yesterday morning, of Johnny MF's fantastic (almost complete) MF699.

Just returned from another amazing Newark Tractor Show. I didn't have too much time to take many pictures as it was probably the busiest show since I have been attending. Some real gems on display though. Blue Force again had an incredible display. For anyone interested in the older machinery, you really MUST attend this event.

Show Layout.

Same place for us again.
